Recognizing these hurdles, DHL Express has developed a comprehensive suite of digital solutions to help SMEs and startups quickly sign up for an account anytime, anywhere and start selling globally. From planning to aftersales, the tools help SMEs streamline cross-border trade processes, reduce costs, and enhance operational efficiency, ultimately driving growth and competitiveness on a global scale.
My Global Trade Services (myGTS) is useful to sellers when they are still strategizing on where to do business. It is a free, online self-serve pre-shipment planner that companies can use to find the correct Harmonized System (HS) codes to classify products for shipping. Users can also obtain initial information on existing free trade agreements between the origin and destination country. This gives sellers a clear picture of the costs involved and enables them to price their products effectively.
Once the business is ready, they can open a DHL account anytime, anywhere. Start-ups and individual shippers that do not have a credit history can also set up a DHL account.
DHL Express Commerce integrates DHL Express shipping services with many e-commerce platforms to help businesses automate shipment creation and manage the fulfillment process. This is useful for sellers to ship multiple orders efficiently.
As companies start shipping, having visibility of the shipment's journey becomes useful as a preventive measure to minimize delays. The Track & Trace allows the shipper to track all shipments accurately across the DHL Express network. Moreover, On Demand Delivery empowers both the shipper and the recipient to customize their delivery preferences. This reduces the probability of undelivered shipments and improves customer experience.
With DHL Pass, customers can use DHL online platforms with one login. Multi-factor authentication also provides customers with a seamless and secure digital experience. This is gradually being rolled out worldwide.
